    Service was excellent! Looked for some light items on the menu (more salads) but the quality was great. The music playlist was eclectic and wonderful. The soundtrack to our lives, which we loved. Great vibe!

    From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and welcoming from every member of the team. You could really feel the pride they take in what they do. Every detail, from the food to the hospitality, was just spot on. It’s rare to have a place where the entire staff leaves such a great impression. Can’t recommend it enough—this will definitely be our go-to breakfast spot anytime we’re back in the city.

    We happened upon this restaurant because it was in walking distance of our hotel. The staff were friendly and knowledgable. I found the food exceptional, although I would have added just a little greenery to the chicken plate, even a few skewers of cucumber to take the heat from the delicious hot honey on the dish. I really like when there is a small side salad on offer so I can have veg with my protein but not a huge portion. My husband said they were the best ribs he had eaten in years. I will put this on my list for next time I visit Vancouver.

    I took 2 friends to celebrate a 40th birthday and a pregnancy. Despite booking a reservation, we had to wait for our table for 20 mins. We were offered a muffin cut into 3 for us to share while we waited. When we seated, we were sat outside on the patio, which was heated but very drafty. I had specifically requested a table inside when I made the reservation, and asked to be moved inside. The hostess seemed very annoyed by this request, and told us we would have to wait in the outside waiting area while we waited for another table. To be fair, it was busy and she was the only hostess working. At this point, I kindly declined and said we would wait at the table she sat us and order coffee while we waited to be moved. It seemed ridiculous for them to ask my very pregnant friend to stand and wait outside given that they had made an error. The experience picked up, as were moved inside and ended up having a lovely meal and great service by our server.

We understand how frustrating it must have been, especially on such a special day. We strive to accommodate all guest requests, and it seems we missed the mark this time. We appreciate your patience in allowing us to move you inside, and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed the meal and the service. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we’ll address this situation with our team to ensure a smoother experience moving forward. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back soon for another celebration or just a nice meal. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to plan your next visit with us! Kindly, Renzo Ramos.

    The waitress was very kind and helpful. Great atmosphere and the covered patio is a plus on a mild but rainy day! The food tasted great and their coffee is also well crafted. I had 2 orders of flat white with my food order! 5*
